]]> It’s almost Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) season! While the drink has been around since 2003, it returned to Starbucks early this year. It became available on August 24th! So grab your PSL and learn about the history of pumpkin spice. You’re in for a ride!

Prior to the PSL, pumpkin spice referred to a blend of spices that were used to flavor pumpkin pie. The spice combines cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves. For a long time, it’s been part of the American baking tradition. Just think about pumpkin pie.

There are even two recipes for spice-filled “pompkin” pie in Amelia Simmons’ 1798 reprint of her cookbook American Cookery. One was made with nutmeg and ginger and the other was made with allspice and ginger. And in the 1930s, Thompson & Taylor Spice Co and McCormick & Company came out with Pumpkin Pie Spice.

The spice blend isn’t just for pies, clearly, it’s been added to lattes. But it’s not clear who came up with it. For Starbucks, the employee who brought the idea to the company is Peter Dukes, who was the director of espresso and whose team created other seasonal drinks.

When Starbucks started making the PSL, they used cinnamon and nutmeg, it wasn’t until 2015 they used real pumpkin. It’s now Starbucks’ most popular seasonal beverage ever and it’s become somewhat of a cultural icon. It’s led the way for other pumpkin spice products to become popular. We’re now seeing everything from pumpkin spice Cheerios to pumpkin spice mac and cheese.

]]> We might not be in the fall season, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy some of the most delicious drinks that autumn has to offer. Fans of pumpkin pie spice coffee wouldn’t avoid their favorite drink just because the month wasn’t right for it—true fans will understand. If you’re among those who love pumpkin spice coffee but don’t like the idea of buying one every day at some of the popular chains, here’s an excellent tip for how to make it at home.

A Little Secret

Perhaps you’ve tried to make a homemade cup of pumpkin spice coffee before, but it didn’t end well because all you got was “floating spice” on top of the coffee which just ruined everything. However, we’ve got the answer for you: the key is to mix the spice with the coffee before brewing it so it blends nicely together!

Any Coffee is Fine

You can use any pumpkin spice blend you like or even make your own. Mix it with pre-ground coffee or, even better, grind it together with coffee beans. Around half a spoon should be enough for two cups. Brew as usual, then add sugar and milk. Enjoy your perfect cup of coffee!

]]> It’s been a few months since it first appeared, but the season of pumpkin pie spice is officially here. The weather is finally cold enough to motivate us to enjoy our favorite winter foods and beverages, and this delicious spice blend goes great with so many of them. From coffee to cakes and pies, pumpkin spice will make everything taste like holidays. But you probably didn’t know that it pairs incredibly well with wines.

Pumpkin pie spice, or pumpkin spice, is a blend of spices that was originally used in pumpkin pies, hence its name. It’s made of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice or cloves. It compliments certain wines amazingly, and if you haven’t tried that combination yet, we urge you to do it soon.

“Generally, what varietals that work best with those ingredients are late harvest wines or wines that have a little more residual sugar in them, due to being left on the vine a bit longer. Wines picked later usually have just the right amount of sweetness and will pair nicely with that spicy, sweet flavor that we all love,” wine expert Cassandra Rosen told Food and Wine.

]]> As the mercury begins to drop and fall approaches, you will undoubtedly begin to see coffee shops begin to advertise pumpkin spice drinks. This food trend caught on earlier this century and has become an autumn fixture throughout the world.

Pumpkin, a squash cultivar that originated in the Americas, is one of the main components of this flavor that has become so popular. It’s sweet and rich and simply tastes “like fall.” But, let’s not forget that the word “spice” comes after the first word in the phrase. Many people don’t even know which spices are the ones that pair so well with pumpkin.

The spices used in this flavoring are essentially the same ones used in pumpkin pies and in pumpkin bread. The first, and heaviest component, is cinammon. Pumpkin spice is usually composed of approximately 50% cinnamon, lending it the one spice flavor you might associate with pumpkin.

Another key ingredient in pumpkin spice is ginger. This spice a spicy and slightly wooden flavor that adds complexity and brings down the sweetness of pumpkin spice.

There are two more spices missing, so what are they? Those spices, carried in small quantities, are cloves and nutmeg. Cloves and intensity to the mix, while nutmeg is the secret, underrated ingredient that just ties everything together!

Don’t you just love pumpkin spice?

]]> Pumpkin spice latte is a popular type of coffee that’s just entering its peak season. It’s a fall staple in many coffee shop chains like Starbucks and there are plenty of recipes that show you how you can make it at home. But why do we love it so much?

Your Just Can’t Resist It

We’re biologically drawn to any combination of fat and sugar, and lattes are no different. Sugar and fat interact and create an amazing experience in our brains, and pumpkin spice ingredients like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves enhance the taste. Pumpkin spice latte is a real treat.

Positive Associations

It’s easy to link positive associations to fall — Halloween, Thanksgiving, apple picking, crunchy leaves, they all make it an amazing season. The spices used for a pumpkin spice latte may remind you of your mom’s kitchen and delicious treats she baked during fall, especially pumpkin pies.

Caffeine

Even though pumpkin spice latte can count as a dessert, it’s still a caffeinated drink before everything else if you love coffee, you won’t have any reason not to like it.
